Decreasing Energy Manufacturing Flooring

Today, energy use is a primary environmental concern and a significant financial issue. Most manufacturers are dependent on fossil fuels in their operations. But we’re proud to note that Shaw Floors—one of our company’s key suppliers— has developed a number of innovative energy-saving processes that reduce fuel and electricity use.

Shaw Floors saves energy in multiple ways, including:

· Converting waste to energy - 2.5 million gallons of fuel a year saved in one manufacturing plant

· Recovering heat from waste water - 380 billion BTU saved, the energy equivalent needed to run thousands of homes for a year
